It is likely the Alpine will have a decent enough amp built in the HU...

Erm, I think you may be showing signs of your age there my friend !!  :P

I must admit that as an "enthusiast" of ultra high quality music (goes with the job) It took me an awfull long time to get into MP3 and the various formats.

But that said, if I am just listening to a bit of background music in the car when blasting up the motorway, you simply cannot beat the iPod. I have thousands of CD`s, and I will change the ones in my CD Changer for my favourites should I want to listen to them properly, but that said, my iPod contains every disc I own, and is always plugged in as well.

Have a proper hands on play with an iPod if you get the chance, it really has a lot going for it.

I have had a decent play with a few.  Really can't see what it offers over any other quality portable music player.  I can see the downsides - iTunes, cost, plus being a member of the gay community....

Bit like the iPhone really....

If it wasnt for iTunes, the iPod probably would not be as successfull as it is. Once you have got your head around iTunes (Freebie), then categorising the folders is so easy and all of the disc information, titles etc etc is transferred effortlessly. Don`t bother with the download stuff, use it for ripping your own. Cost? Yes, the iPod is a little more expensive than its counterparts, but there are more accessories for it than for any other, and if it ever breaks, then there is a fair chance of getting it fixed as it is well supported.  :)

And as far as the gay thing, haven`t we already had this conversation with dash bulbs of "LED blue"  (they do come in other colours you know)   ;D

But the iPhone? Absolute piece of junk !  Albeit a very good looking and graphical piece of junk, but a piece of junk none the less  :(

Next week i am going to replace the factory system.
What exactly does the block behind passenger side?
If you change this is the only thing what happend that the wires from the iso blok will go directly to the speakers?

When you remove the radio there will be no problems with the computer?
